this is pretty much the exact reason why I can’t stand new trek.
celebrating current day celebrities in a show that’s supposed to transcend those limits is out of character for the shows history and damages the show by adding frivolous “facts” that literally do nothing to drive the plot forward.
It’s like watching a show or reading a book where a major character is “surprise gay”. it explains nothing about their character and what they have achieved to that point and is then used only as a cheap character device later.
it’s like introducing your “gay cousin” like it’s some kind of a fucking qualifier for who or what they are.
I wished people wrote characters you fall in love with. Like Bill and Frank from The Last of Us. I cried myself a headache when Frank and Bill’s story ended. I was so happy for them…but so sad for myself for never being able to see them again.
THAT’S what I want for Trek. everything else is just cheap and gimmicky.
Yes but then Tilly is said to have gone to Elon Musk High School
